Training the Youth.

While it should be remembered
that the child will have childish
ways, it should also be considered
that youth is the time to bend the
twig. How many times have you
taken your child's part against the
teacher, the governess, and even the
father, because che is only a child?"
The fact thatyour boy escapes punish
ment for bad behavior just because
"he'S only a child" may give you ir-
reparable trouble when he has grown
to maturity. Better shut the little
fellow up in your own closet fora few
hours than have him ruined by your
failure to check him in the proper
way at the proper time. You should
comfort your boy but not pet him;
encourage when right but reprimand
when wrong. Teach him to respect
age, as well as the aged. The conduct
of your child reflects like mirror
upon your own example, and for
your example your parents were re-
sponsible when training you in your
youth or childhood.

The Nashville Banner says: "A
little money spent on the capitol
building now may save big appro-
priation in the future. 1t is all well
enough to have democratic simplicity
so long as it doesn't cost anything,
but when it allows valuable build
ing like the capitol to 90 to ruin, then
it is time to call a halt, especially
when a modest expenditure would go
far toward preserving it and saving
to the people many dollars in the
future"

Didst ever in thy haste

Didst Ger forget to feed
Some loving, petted birdt
Give pain to some dumb friend.

Mourn not the blighted flower
A fairer bud may grow
And gentle words and love
Atone the hasty blow.
But shouldst thou wound heart

And lay upon the altar Of our view

The model which the artist paints with care,
And the never-dying substance Of thepoet's

Whose withered leaves are tramDled into

Unhecded BY the busy passer-by:
Whose perfume, which was borne by every

"STOP THE SHIP"


Il was dark. moonless night, in the
middle Of December, and the rising
wind was whistling in the rigging and
piping among the taut shrouds OF the
steamship Sandman, as she plunged
through the Atlantic surgcs, homeward
for Liverpool.
The slOping decks werc silent and de-
serted, save for the figure Of the officer
on watch, pacing suddenly up and down
before the wheclhousc, and little group
OF saloon passengers clustered under the
lee Of the starboard lifcboat on the quar-
ter-deck. There was some half-dozcn Of
usin all. Two fair Canadians on their
way to spend the holidays il the s,old
country; couple ef young subs. n
coming home ON leave from their rcgi-
mcnt IN Halifax; and one other careless
pleasure seeker, like myself, returning
from visit to the Far. West. We had
been willing away the evening by
singing glccs and telling stories. until
the guartermastcr striking five Eclls-
1890 o'clock warned us that lights
would soon have to be put out.
Not feeling inclined to turn ID, i babe
my merry companions goodnight,
watched them laughingIy down the Com
panion-way, and then turned aft to have
chat with the second officer who was
keeping the deck watch.
You seem to have had pleasant time
under the boat there he sad, after q
few remarks upon the look Of the
weather and the speed we were run
ming at.
Yes, and we ended up with ghost
story, which Mr.. Eurton told about his
old grandmother seeing the figure OF her
husband standing reckoning her ear
nesfly away from terra q walk which
ran under brick fruit wall in the hall
grounds. She followed him, and scarce
" had she got out Of danger before it
fell with crash just where she had been
walking but half moment before. Ills
friend, WyyiH, made fun Of it all, and
then We got into hot discussion upon
warnings and second sight and the rest
Of it.
Ard do you believe in such things?"
Not a Bit" answered, promptly.

life, but only to timid, scared, and Ier-
wous persons Z

ularly nervous, / fancy and yet queer
thing happened to me aboard this ship
not very long ago, and he turned to
glance at the swinging compass at the
mizzcn crosstrccs. III You care To hear
about it, iii spin You the yarn unless
you wait to turn In. 7
So be began his story, whilst the
breaking OF the spectre looking spars
afOft s0undcd like tho moan of troubled
spirits, and the swishing of thelwatcr
under the counter kept up mournful
rhythm as he spoke as follows:
Two left tho AIcrsey the first week in
May, bound for New York, with full
ship saloon and Storage both crowded
and made quick run, for she is d
fast boat, and the captain never gives
her chance Of getting far off straight
course.
1--WE were Ave days out, and that
evening some Of the gentlemen had got
lup 4 concert, which was q great success,
and everybody seemed in high spirits at
The prospect Of tho quickest passage on
record. OF course this was before the
Arizona, Alaska, and Etruria had aston
ished the world BY the wondrous smart
